Review on NEHEME NH320 Plus Mini Drones for Kids - RC Small Quadcopter Drone with Auto Hovering, 3D Flip, Speed Adjustment, 2 Batteries - Indoor Helicopters Flying Toys for Boys and Girls - Green by Karina Miller

I have an FAA license to fly 1-propeller craft, but I'm completely clueless when it comes to small 4-propeller craft. A few years ago I bought a small drone without a propeller guard, which quickly caused me to crash. If a pilot crashes the vehicle, it is the pilot's fault. When multiple pilots repeat the same mistake, a more serious problem arises. The most important feature of a beginner drone is the resistance to human error, in this case the resistance comes in the form of a propeller guard that fully justifies any weight loss/endurance loss they impose on the user's removable batteries. Propeller guards protect the aircraft and any property or person the aircraft could hit. On my first flight, I launched the drone and quickly became disoriented as soon as I let the drone fly over my head - the drone hit a wall, dropped gracefully and nothing happened. was lost. With reduced risk to the propeller and motor, the drone can last a long time, but as with all portable electronics, the batteries will run out. Changing the battery requires opening the compartment with a tiny screw using the included screwdriver, so it won't be a smooth 18-minute experience, but it does cut the turnaround time to 1-2 minutes instead of 30+ minutes. The great thing about user-replaceable batteries is that if the drone lasts longer than the batteries due to good ownership or long periods of inactivity, you can simply buy new ones: a quick search will reveal a lot of QL 752030 batteries on that little screw the battery door seems very easy to lose and there is no replacement - reducing durability. The tiny screw is also too small to be engraved with a part number. So if you lose them, all you have to do is figure out the screw type yourself (or otherwise secure the shaft). Controller - Unlike some other designs, this drone cannot charge the drone with 3 AAA batteries (not included) in the controller. Spare drone batteries are better anyway, but you'll need to bring a power bank if you want to charge on the go. If you don't want to use spare batteries, the bad news is that the drone doesn't have a built-in charger, so you'll have to remove the battery to charge it. The set includes 2 USB chargers. Instruction manual - English is not very good, but the instruction manual is usable and there are good photos. Stability - Beginner-friendly features of the drone, including gyroscopic "headless mode" and control limits where the drone won't fall out of the sky with full downward control, but will instead enter a controlled, safe descent. The drone will not hold its position perfectly, there is significant drift that needs to be corrected with control inputs or trim. The left button that you use to launch the drone also works as an "auto land" button, you can think of it as a panic button. The aircraft will also perform an automatic landing procedure automatically when the battery is low. tricks Drop can do somersaults and such, but make sure you have enough space. It looks like the drone will wait a bit before takeoff, then it may fly into a bad position. Sound - Drones are not quiet, especially indoors when you are close to them. This drone is equipped with 4-blade propellers, which will likely allow it to run at a lower RPM, making it less noisy than drones with 2-blade propellers, but also less efficient. for continuous tone in headless mode. Value. This drone comes with a number of spare parts that are not essential but also cost more if shipped separately. For a little more money you get an FPV drone that is much easier to fly and without getting lost. For a little less money you can probably get a drone with similar features without unnecessary spare parts - however, changing the battery is less user-friendly if it is not explicitly designed for it. It's also not the cheapest option among entry-level drones with 3 batteries included.
